SoundCloud, Spotify and Twitter Briefly Inaccessible Due to DDos Attack on Dyn

If you've paid a visit to SoundCloud, Spotify or Twitter today, you were more than likely met with a blank screen in place of your feed. You certainly weren't the only one - DNS provider Dyn has confirmed that a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack has resulted in dozens of websites being rendered unavailable to users.

The attack occurred around 9:30 AM EST and appears to affect European and Asian users less than their U.S. counterparts. As this is one of the larger-scale DDoS attacks in recent memory, it's difficult to say how long it will take until technicians arrive at a solution.
